Off-Peak Journal, for travelling at the wrong time of year
A twice-yearly travel journal about slow, out-of-season journeys, including sleeper trains, closed-season islands, harvests, and long walks.
Field notes
The journal organizes its work around seasonal timing rather than a monthly publishing calendar. Its editor says one almond-harvest feature waited fourteen months so the writer could report the right fortnight, and that contributors travel in person with their tickets reimbursed afterward. Current listings include an overnight Brussels route, the Outer Hebrides after the coaches have gone, and an eighty-kilometre Mosel towpath walk. Field notes provide small operational updates, including a Sunday bus correction and telephone-only winter bookings in the Julian Alps.
